He has is an athlete who can be a distraction for the opposition at best. He is like a quicker Antonio but shorn of the goals and assists.
 
 
I dont actually mind him when I have seen him play, but that was a while ago. It's a bit worrying that he hasn't had a look in at Fulham and I'm not sure why?

Also for a player who came through the Barca academy I dont understand why his control and finishing is so poor (or is that just a myth?)

Hoping and praying Nuno doesn't fall into that trap like others before him. 
Don’t worry. I think there’s no danger of JWP playing again. I just can’t see it. He’ll use Kante or others first.

I don't know what metric you're using but the stats suggest otherwise

Thanks for the late clearance against those cunts last week though, Guido
He’s using the metric of ‘shit bait’ like any poor fisherman.

Ok, that makes more sense. As I've rarely seen Bowen get subbed for us.

So if he starts where does Bowen play? If he comes on as sub where does Bowen move to if Tatty or Wilson is playing central?

Feels like limited time for Bowen if Traore comes in. Which is pretty unusual.
Unless Bowen can play no.10 or left wing (just haven't seen him do that).

No doubt he will be a huge boost to Valencia in their battle against relegation...

Flamengo have held with talks with West Ham over a proposed bid in the region of £35m + £5m in add ons for Lucas Paqueta. Sky Sports News understands the bid won't be enough to get the deal done

The thing is we won't get that money in the summer and he ain't gonna save us from relegation,i would happily take £20M, but if the above figures are right then Sullivan deserves relegation.

I don't know much about him but his teammate Jack Rudoni would be the perfect replacement for Paqueta.

If I'm not mistaken he is head and shoulders above most of the championship in the same way Bowen was when we signed him.

Hayden Hackney at Boro would be ideal as well but as a club we've never been run that way.

Probably the same reason Charlie Cresswell doesn't fancy us in the current predicament..

All 3 look potential mustard
Trouble is, as it was put on YT yesterday, why on earth would a player from Cov or Boro join us now when if they stay they are probably guaranteed premier league football for a season, and they might be back in the championship quick smart if they move. Add to the fact that we'll get told to get fucked by the owners who aren't going to jeopardise their own promotion pushes. 

Agree all three would be excellent signings. The kind we should have made and probably could have made in the summer before this car crash of a season started.
You can be sure that Palace for example will probably have an eye on all 3 of them. A couple ending up there wouldn't be a huge surprise 🙄
